Slice Like A Ninja (100% with layer masking to affect only a few details – rings, glasses)

Burn-Out

I’ll probably find the image too overcooked in the morning (upon smaller export it looks even more cooked — oh well), but it was an exercise to learn the different actions. I’ve used the OnOne plugins, and they’re good as well, but I see how Actions are a more surgical solution as you have access to many of the steps that make up the action and you can adjust each step independently. Using layer masks to apply the effect only where needed is key as well. Overall, I’m impressed with the range of effects offered by the Totally Rad actions.
